Bills for the Registration Gf Births, Marriages, and Deaths, and for regulating the celebration of Marriage, were introduced into the House of Comm6ns last night by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Attempts have been made by successive Governments to amend the imperfect state of the law on these important questions ; but they have hitherto failed, either from the difficulty of reconciling so many conflicting interests and prejudices, or from the public mind not having been sufficiently enlightened as to the neces sity of some of the proposed changes, or perhaps from both these causes combined. It must be gratifying to the friends of civil and religious liberty—to all who regard the abrogation of unjust and impolitic distinc tions founded on differences in religious belief, as ob jects of deep interest—that there is at length a fair prospect of surmounting the obstacles which have stood in the way of reform in those institutions which, instead of being national, are altogether sec tarian in their character, and exclusive in their operation. The first of the measures which we have men tioned is altogether of a civil nature, and, we appre hend, will easily be carried into effect. For this purpose, Lord JOHN RUSSSEL has adopted the machinery furnished by the Poor Law Amend ment Act. The Commissioners are to have the appointment from among the officers employed by them, of persons to act as registrars throughout the country, in several degrees of subordination, there being a district-office in each county, and a head-office in the metropolis, to which duplicates of all registers are to be sent. The plan is simple, and we have no doubt will be effectual. The Marriage Bili renders it imperative on all who are to be married, whether belonging to the Established Church or not, to give notice of their intention to the Registrar, who is to enter their names in a hook to he open for inspection twenty-one days prior to the celebration. At the end of this period the Registrar is to give the parties a certificate, on the production of which either the Clergyman of the Church, or the Dis senting Minister, as the case maybe, shall be authorised to perform the religious ceremony. It is also provided, that those who object to a religious ceremony may have their marriages celebrated by the Registrar with ou t it. The Churchman and the Dissenter are put on a footing of perfect equality, except in one respect, which is—that at all marriages solemnized in Disc senting chapels, the Registrar must be present, while his presence is not required when the ceremony takes place in a Church. We think it will be impos sible to carry this provision into eirect without a much greater number of Registrars than the Bill contem plates ; and we are afraid it will be unsatisfactory to tice. Dissenters, as placing them unnecessarily in a position of inferiority to the Members of the Established Church. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY — the foreign finger -post of t wa ddli ng T or y P e ers—edified their Lordships last night with a speech on the foreign policy of the present Government. The Noble Mar quis is one of those orators whose eloquence is a relief to us, because, by being confined to no particular sub ject, and far less to any particular line of argument, we are thus saved the trouble of thinking, and, besides, are plentifully supplied with matter for merriment; His as proli x , as speech last night was as rambling, THE SL'N, LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, is A. verbose, and as ridiculously vehement, as his finest published specimens in the same strain. The only omission we detected in it of any, subject .past, present, 'or to come , was HALLEY s comet, and I the rail-roads. The speech was ostensibly on the subject of Spanish affairs, but the Noble Marquis did not forget DANIEL O'CONNELL—the Established Church—the House of Lords as an object of Parlia mentary Reform—Louts PHlLLippE—the cam paigns of the Duke of WELLINGTON in Spain— the murder-ii!fection that had seized 'upon the British legion—the Dutch Protocols—the Bishop of L EON— MENDIZABAL's finance plans—and his own feelings as a soldier. All this was vastly amusing in its way ; bur looking beyond the mere laughter-provoking import of the Speech, it was unquestionably a great interruption of Parliamentary business. But even for this, Lord MELBOURNE'S speech in answer offers ample compen sation ; and we do believe will materially advance the QUEEN'S interests in this country. The Premier, at the very outset, proved that the Duke of WELLING TON had gone to greater lengths, in advocating the assistance to be given to the QUEEN, than the Cabinet which had agreed to the Quadruple Treaty ; while, at the same time, he proved that what had been advanced with respect to the influence and the humanity of Don CARLOS, was as baseless as the justice of his pretensions to the Spanish Crown. His Lordship also defended the British Legion from the unjust and malicious aspersions that had been cast upon it ; and even stated that the Volunteers conducted themselves in such a manner as might have done honour to the troops commanded by the Noble Marquis himself, when engaged in the late Peninsular war. This is, indeed, high praise ; and we trust that our brave countrymen, now under the command of General EVANS will not forfeit' a syllable of it during the campaign. The return moved for by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, which included "all warlike stores, clothing, accoutrements, arms, ammunition, artillery, Congreve rockets, and also of all naval, stores of every description, furnished to the QUEEN of Spain by- Great Britain, stating the value of the same, and if any and what payments had been made for the same ; likewise, a return of the mines, rank, and number of officers upon the half-pay of the British service at present serving in the army of the Queen of SPAIN," was agreed to by the Govern ment without the slightest opposition. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought forward in the House of Lords, last night, a measure for consoli dating the jurisdiction of the several Ecclesiastical Courts into one Civil Court, and separating the spiri tual functions from those of a civil character. His Lordship's proposition was, that a Central Metropoli tan Court be established, tinder the name of his Ma jesty's Court of Probate, which is to have authority in all testamentary, matrimonial, and civil and crimi nal matters, as respects defamation, &c., and also over the personal effects of individuals deceased ; while, as regards purely spiritual matters, these are to be dis posed of by the Bishop of each diocese, with assessors. There were some other points on which his Lordship suggested improvements, for which we refer our readers to our Parliamentary report. Taken as a whole, his proposition is an excellent one, and will go far to remedy all that trouble, perplexity, and confusion which has so long prevailed in the system of eccle siastical jurisdiction. One valuable suggestion in it we must not omit to notice—namely, that where his Lordship proposes that there shall be but appeal from the Central Court, to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The important question of Orange Lodges was brought before the House of Commons last night in two separate motions, the first of which was made by Mr. FINN, and the last by INTr. HUME ; when, on the recommendation of Lord J. RUSSELL, all further discussion on the subject was adjourned until the 23d instant. We are glad to find that there appears at length a fair prospect of having this question tho roughly and impartially investigated. A more mo mentous one, as respects the destinies of Ireland, cannot possibly come before the British Legislature. Every one knows the calamities which the Orangemen, for years and years past, have been the means of in flicting on the sister-country. Not in one channel only, but in a thousand minute, subtle ones, has their disastrous influence been actively at work. The army —the magistracy—the police-force—and even the august judgment-teat itself,- have been polluted by it. It has poisoned national feeling at its fountain-head ; disorganized the social system ; invaded the peace of private families ; set the parent against the child, and the child against the parent ; widened the breach between Catholic and Protestant ; set all the sympathies of our common nature at de fiance ; and converted even religion itself into a curse. A world of mischief the Orange system has perpe trated in Ireland, while professing to be actuated by none but the noblest motives. With peace and good will towards nten on its lips, its conduct has invaria bly been that of immitigable malignity. Holding forth the Bible in one hand, it has never failed to ex hibit in the other, du: whip and the branding-iron. Ireland has many grievances to be redressed ; but none that require a prompter remedy than those entailed on on her by the Orangemen. 'Till the ascendancy sys tem be torn up by the roots, she can entertain no just hope of tranquillity. Here lies the fruitful source of her sufferings. This is the spring whence the baleful stream flows that desolates her fairest lands. Lord JOHN RUSSELL spoke fairly enough on the subject, observing that when it came formally on for discussion, he "should be prepared to show his rea sons for thinking that the House ought to express its opinion car the nature and tendency of Orange Lodges in Ireland. He should be ready to propose two reso lutions expressive of his views on the subject. He did not, by any means, preclude himself from supporting any motion which might be introduced respecting other Secret Societies, for he was an enemy to all Secret Societies." The question put last night by Mr. WA L LACE, and the replies given by Mr. LABOUCHERE, mill be extremely gratifying to the whole country. At last the Post-Office is to be placed under the controul and management of a Board—for this is the only thing for which Mr. WALLACE has so long contended, and the only possible construction that can be put upon what Mr. LABOUCHERE said. From the terms he used as to the Packet S!ations, there can be little doubt of the truth of the allegations against the Packet Department, otherwise Mr. LABOUCHERE would have at once seen it to have been but justice to con tradict the reports ; or, at any rate, to say something in mitigation of them. The Reports, how ever, of the Post-Officc. .commissioners will soon be before the public ; and while ,we see every reason to believe that these will be ample and satisfactory, and highly creditable to the Commissioners, we cannot but congratulate the public on the success of Mr. WAL LACE'S persevering exertions, and on the certainty of one at least of our Representative s being alive to, and willing to make the most of th e Reports of the Com missioners, after they are in possession of the Mem• bers of the House of Commons. A 9 to the third question put b y Mr. W ALLACE , we do not profess to know much of the harbour of Port Patrick ; but we ever heard it spoken of as A Rross job, being a place utterly unfitted for a sale harbour, and not a whit the better of having bad some hundred and fifty thousand pounds of the public money thrown into the sea. While on this subject, we are anxious to suggest to the Commissioners of Inquiry, and to the POSTMAS TER GENERAL, a very convenient mode of forwarding the Sunday letters, lk ithout occasioning much trouble to the Post-office, till a complete reform of the whole of that Department has taken place, under the superin tendence of the new Board of Commissioners. Our suggestion is this :—!et the Sunday letters be sorted for the different lines of roads, and told at the General Post-office ; let these be sent to the Forward-offices, such as. Barnet, Hounslow, "Waltham Cross, &c., one hour before the departure of the Londo❑ Mails, there to be taxed and charged by the Deputy Postmasters, who already perform this service in the case of all let ters put into their respective boxes. The letters would be thus received at their several destinations one day sooner, with a trouble to the Post-office scarcely worth mentioning—at the utmost, conveyances and all, would not cost more than at the rate of 2001. per annum. We would here ask, why are not all let ters addressed to Members of the Legislature for warded on Sunday mornings to the Houses of Parlia ment, to be there delivered to every Member who may choose to apply for them ? Surely it is as important that each branch of the Legislature should have the earliest intelligence, as that the privilege should be only extended to a few public offices. The trouble, as far as the Post-office is concerned, would be just the same, and the Houses of Parliament might each appoint a clerk, for the delivery of their respective letters. The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday have been received. On Wednesday afternoon, the PREsI DENT'S second Message- to Congress, recommending a Non-intervention Act, and preparations for hostili ties, on the part of the United States, was communi cated to the Government by telegraph from London. The funds fell one halfpercent. in consequence; but they again rose, and suffered no further depression. The majority of the Journals of Thursday state their con viction that there will be no war ; that Congress will not sanction the threats of the PRESIDENT; and that the whole affair will serve admirably to restore the Ex- Ministers to office. The timid will be appealed to ; and as the Doctrinaires are not " men of blood," a strong sympathy will thus be excited in their favour. The Constitutionnel sees nothing in the language of the PRESIDENT, but a denunciation of the Minis terial career of DE BROGLIE and his colleagues. The late Cabinet, observes this Journal, was th e sole disturber of the harmony which existed be tween France and the United States. The Debats treats the question of actual *war as ridiculous ; but adds, that it is as well to be prepared for the worst. how the President's Moniteur du Commerce cannot i percesiv personally Ie President's Message can affect the choice of any Ministry. The Kiso, however, desirous of restoring his late Ministers to office, h a s, it is reported, coquetted with M. DUPIN, in order to form a coalition Cabinet, which would include MM. THIERS, GUIZOT, and DUCIIATEL. Such a co_ alition was deemed impossible by M. DUPIN, a n d thus the affair rests for the present. It is possible that the re-construction of the French Cabinet will not take place before the beginning of the ensuing weer. The following extracts include the whole of the Fo reign intelligence in the Paris Journals : PARIS, FEB. l O.—A letter from Barcelona, of Feb. 2, says— " General Mina seems to aim at making himself popular; he often walks on the Rambla, sometimes alone, sometimes with his wife, and always in civil costume. " The news of the dissolution of the Cortes has produced some sensation here. " Mina has just organized the forces iu Catalonia, in the following manner :—Seven brigades, under the command of Guerra, Aspiroz, Magras, Sebastian, Montero, Niu►,o, Osorio ; seven battalions of free corps—the Ist brigade' will occupy Tarragona and the Priorat ; the 2d, La Montag:le ; the ad, Grona and Figueiras ; the 4th, Lerida and Talarri ; the sth, Tortosa ; the 6th, Cervera-Segarra ; the 7th, ETarraguira. " 17,000 muskets, and 690,000 gun-flints, sent by England, were landed at Barcelona on the Ist of this month. " Candero, the editor of the Catalan, has been conveyed to Alicant, after having disclosed to Mina the whole conspir.:cy of the sth and 6th January. PARIS, FEB. i I.—WC are, not able to give this morning the text of the Message of President Jackson, but what the English Journals say of it sufficiently indicate the nature of it. It will be seen (by the extracts from the English Papers) that the warlike demonstration of General Jackson has produced very little effect in London. The official annolincemeat pub lished by the Government is in the following terms : " The Government has received to-eay the following tele graphic dispatch : " London, Feb. 9, half-past two o'clock in the morning " The Ambassador of France to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. " President Jackson addressed on the 19th January a Message to the Congress, recommending the adoption of a law to close the American ports against French vessels.' " Moniteur. A letter from Bayonne of the 6th of February contains the following paragusph :—" In an exchange of prisoners which has just taken place at Vittoria, the Carlists having fewer by fifteen than the Christinos, Gen. Cordova nevertheless deli vered up the whole in his hands, on the word of honour of the Carlist Officer to deliver an equal number of prisoners on the first opportunity ; Cordova then invited the Carlist Chief to dine with him, and the Officers of the Christinos likewise gave a dinner to the Carlist Officers. However; as they were about to depart, the populace seeming disposed to rise, the Carlist Commander, in order to avoid all cause of disorder, made known this state of things to Gen. Cordova, who immediately gave him an escort of fifty Lancers, under whose protection the Carlist prisoners left the City without anything happening to them. When they arrived at the place where it was agreed that they should separate, the two parties took leave of each other crying, " Till we meet again." The Gazette de France adds to the reports on 'Change, that of an action between a Russian and an English ship of the line. The former is stated to have been - burnt. A letter from Toulon, of Feb. 6, says—" A sad report has been spread here to-day, and it has so far gained credit that I must mention it. We are assured that the Diligente corvette Captain Burrall, has been lost on the coast near Leghorn. A person worthy of credit has told me that he had seen a letter in which the fact was positively stated. The -vessel is said to have been wrecked on a sand-bank, so that the whole crew was fortunately saved. " The Toulon, Captain Daudin, is to go into the great road this morning. It is certainly destined for the Levant, and will take on board a French Charge de Affaires, who is already here, and convey him to Athens. The Triton will sail in a few days. We do not know whether this ship will join Admiral Massieu's squadron, or whether the Suffrein will return to port ; but we are glad that the Government is at length attending to the affairs of Greece."—Messaycr, February 10.

On the 22d the House of Representativ es was thrown into a stake pf the tepst disorderly excitement, in consequence pf Mr, APAAis having moved a reso lution to inquire intg thy cau se of t h e fai lure of the Appropriation Bill, passed by the thlisP in th e last iession cif Congress, with a view to place the country I in a state of defence. The Members attacked each other in a strain of the most virulent personality ; and on some occasions there were three orators audressing the House at one and the same time. No regard whatever was paid to the SPEAKER, whose vocifera tions of " Order !" were drowned in the commingled yells and uproar of the spectators and the Members. This scandalous scene, unparralleled in the memory of the VICE-PRESIDENT, had not terminated when the latest accounts published in the papers before us were dispatched to New York. The PRESIDENT'S late Message has had no effect on the business transactions of the American merchants. In New York, stocks instead of falling have advanced . in price, and the good citizens laugh at the idea of a war between the Federal Government and France. The news of the intervention of Great Britain has reached the mercantile classes, though, till it be offi cially announced, the Government cannot be supposed to be aware of the amicable intentions of this country. This has inspired the greatest confidence in those who wish for the continuance of peace with Europe. Congress is still engaged with the Slavery question. It is very doubtful whether the slaves will profit by the discussions which their claims are undergoing. The fact is, that Congress is stopped at the threshold, by the question of whether it can claim a tight to abo lish slavery in any of the several States of the Union, without the concurrence of the local legislatures of such States? We are not disposed to speak harshly of America, her people, or her Government ; but her maintenance of slavery is a stain upon her, which ac tually disqualifies her from being placed on a social footing-with the most absolute Monarchies in Europe —Russia only excepted. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Mexican Republic, Don JOSE MARIA ORTIZ MONASTERN, has addressed a note to Mr. FORSYTH, the United States' Minister, complaining of the interference of the subjects of the United States, in the affairs of Texas, contrary to the letter and spirit of the treaty between the two Governments. The Mexican Mi nister, in the name of his Government, requires the restitution of the Mexican schooner-of-war, the Corr eo, captured in the waters of Texas by the San Felipe, an American merchant vessel, on the presumed charge of piracy—a charge for which the Minister there had not the least grounds. This document will be laid be fore Congress, and will be the means of eliciting the opinions of the leading Members with respect to the Texean insurrection. KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY). The Court was occupied, during the entire day, with the Special Jury case of Price v. Barrow, which was an action for the infringe ment of a patent improvement in the heating of public buildings by means of hot water. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. TOM LINSON appeared for the plaintiff, and Sir W. FOLLETT for the defendant. The alleged infringement was said to have taken place in the apparatus put up by the defendant for heating the library at the Guildhall, and the two Houses of Parliament after the confla gration. Messrs. Fairlie, Brunel, Stevenson, and other eminent scientific men, were in attendance, for the purpose of being examined. The plaintiff's case was proceeding when we went to press.

By the New York Papers, received to the 27th of January, it appears that the Americans are making warlike preparations. On the 21st of January the Senate voted 600,000 dollars for the con struction and equipment of floating steam batteries. A Bill was also passed for the increase of a corps of engineers ; and, in the Senate the same day, it was also unanimously resolved, that so much of the surplus revenue as may be necessary, be set apart for the defence of the country. - A New York Paper received this morning of the 24th of Jan. says :—" The present condition of our affairs with France is the subject of much conversation ; and various opinions are expressed as to what. will be the future course of our Government. It is now said that we have not the power to resort to any commercial re strictions against France, unless six months notice is given of such intention, without a violation of the conventions of reciprocity be tween France and the United States." Montreal papers to the 20th January, and Quebec to the 16th January, have been received this morning at the North and South American Coffee House. We extract the following from the Montreal papers : " Bis Excellency the Governor-in-Chief has thought fit to issue a Proclamation against the Rifle Corps, particularly con demning their assumption of the Royal arms at the head of their Notices, and declaring all their proceedings as unconstitutional and illegal. The British Rifle Corps, however, has this consolation— that they can meet again under their old title, as the Proclamation is levelled only at their present name. Proclamation may follow upon Proclamation ; but his Excellency cannot change the deter mination of those ready at a moment's notice to meet the pending danger, from whatever quarter it may come. " The new Executive Commission of the Constitutional Associa tion have not been idle since their appointment to office. In addi tion to the very able and valuable addresses to the inhabitants of British Nova 'Scotia, another document, proceeding from a sub committee has . been extensively circulated among those interested in the timber trade, urging renewed petitions to the Imperial Par liament against any alteration in the present scale of duties." By the Quebec papers we have the following : " The Upper Canadian Legislature was to have met yesterday, and we may expect the Speech by this day week. A large qUantity of snow fell yesterday and to-day, and at present it is about a foot deep in this town and its vicinity." THE FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at the prices they left off yester day, 91-V for the Account, and 91i for Money.

According to private accounts, warlike stores are little in demand in America. We have no accounts of the arrival of the Pantaloon, with the Government despatches to the United States. HALF-PAST ONE. We have just received the following from Madrid, dated Feb. 3 All the negotiations to the present time have had no result. M. Isturiz has positively refused to enter into the Ministry, and M. Mendizabal has taken upon himself to carry on affairs until the meeting of the Cortes, which will take place in the month of March. General Ahnodevar, Minister of War, has arrived in the capital ; and before he left the army, it was agreed between Gen. Cordova and himself, that the operations of the army should not commence before the fair weather, when a decisive blow will be attem?ted ,• and it was expected the levy of 100,000 men would be c ompleted by the middle of April next—the time appointed for active operations." The members of the Stock Exchange are busily engaged in the election of seven of the Committee in room of those who had re signed in consequence of the affair of Lakcman. At present, the general opinion is that the same Committee-men will be re-elected. Consols to the present hour maintain the morning prices of 914 for the Account, and 914 for Money.

Consols for the Account, 914 Among the names of those who have liberally volun teered their gratuitous services at Covent Garden Theatre this evening (when a performance for the benefit of the Polish refu gees takes place,) we notice those of Madame Canderi Allen, Waylett, Dulcken, and other artistes of first-rate talent ; with those of Mr3ones, Master Forde and others this, in addition to the attraction of a new piece—the fine acting of C. Kemble and Miss Faucit—and the pleasure we anticipate in once more hailing 'film Welsh qs the presiding charm of the orehestia, w ill, in our opinion, pummand bu}Aper. never was there a class of people more deserving of public sympathy than the Polish Refugeesek, FINE ARTS. BRITISH INSTITUTION. This exhibition, which, from want of space and time we have been hitherto unable to notice, contains many_ fine specimens of modern art. Most of our best painters have contributed one or more pictures to it ; and among them Landseer, whose paintings of the animal creation, especially of the canine tribe, may .vie with the very choicest produc tions, of the same class, of the old masters. His " Terriers" are admirably painted, with a force and vividnesS that re mind us of Gainsbo -ough and Morland, though with far more grace and elegance than either of these artists pos sessed. • No one imparts such a tine, natural gloss to the hair of his animals, dogs especially, as Landseer. He seems to effect that by a happy stroke of the pencil which inferior painters would take days and weeks to accomplish. His picture of the " Highland Harvest Girl" is evidently a sketch from nature, and the countenance as fine as anything we have seen from his pencil. The " Landlord and his Friend" is a capital picture, of the homely, domestic class, by Fraser. Boniface, having poured out a glass of his choicest double X, is expatiating in suitable terms of pane gyric on its merits to a customer, who is all attention,.and holds up the belanded beverage to the light, evidently de lighted with its cheerful, sparkling hue. The host's face aptly explains the purport of his speech : nor can anything be wore unembarassed, or skilfully pourtrayed, than his attitude. " Venus caressing her favourite Dove " is by G. Patten: It is an able painting, voluptuous without at all trespassing upon propriety ; and shows that the artist has studied the chefs d'oeuvres of the old masters, parti cularly those of Correggio, with success. We scarcely think, however, that the lower portion of the goddess's figure is in proportion with the upper half. The leg is too fleshy, and every way too disproportioned. "La Rose" is the production of Chalon, and is an imitation of the courtly, polished manner of Watteau. The filling up of this little gem is in the chastest and most gracefil style. In particu lar, the reclining figure of the youth who is turning towards his mistress, is replete with easy elegance, and the symmetry perfect. The " Happy Age" is better than anything we have yet seen from the pencil of Partridge. It is the por trait of a child, whose round, rosy, dimpled cheeks, and laughing eyes bespeak a world of unsophisticated happiness. The " Valley Farm," though a striking landscape, by Con stable, and such as it is impossible to look on without in terest, yet is full 'of the usual defects of the artist, with much meretricious glitter about it, and a straining after effect, at variance with the staid simplicity of nature. If Mr. Constable would have more faith in his own healthy, simple love of the picturesque, and be less ambitious in his display, he would succeed much better in landscape paint ing than he now does ; but he is too apt to overlay nature, and bury it beneath a load of tawdry ornaments. " 'Wreckers on the North Shore" is painted in that peculiar style to which Turner only can give proper effect. It is a clever painting, though with all the artist's usual mannerism about it. " King Henry the Eighth's first interview with Anne Boleyn" is chiefly remarkable for the figure of bluff Hal, which is full of character, and realizes the notion we have of him in history. " Fire in the House of Lords" is another of Turner's performances ; it has a quaint look, with an evident appearance of want of finish in the details. " Odin" contains one of Landseer's superb drawings of dogs, whose anatomy, as in the present instance, is all but perfect. " The Chair-saddle" is an ingenious picture by Partridge. " The Chivalric Vow" is a large and im pasing painting from the pencil of Maclise, and con tains a highly finished, and accurate full-length portrait of Count D'Orsay. " The Entombment of Christ," does Mr. Salter, the artist, great credit. This gentleman shows considerable promise as a painter. His " Head of St. John" is an admirable bit of painting ; and shows unusual power of expression. The picture, however, is on rather too large a scale ; though the canvass is skilfully filled up, and the grouping of the various figures easy and graceful. " Buy, buy Images" is another striking performance by the same artist. " The Woman of Procida" by Miss A. Weller, is another picture that deserves notice, having this rare recommendation—namely, that it will bear closely looking into. The artist has caught the fervid glow of- an Italian climate, with a tact and felicity that shows she is well versed in, and capable of appreciating, the peculiar excellencies of Claude in this respect. The figure of the female, whose bead is slightly bent forward, apparently in the attitude of attention, is true to life, nor is the distant perspective of the deep blue sea, with here and there a white sail dotting its surface, less finely felt. With due perse verance this lady will succeed in her profession, especially as she has the rare good sense to disregard the stilted, thea trical manner—where every thing is sacrificed to effect--of too many of our modern artists. On the whole, the Exhibi tion is a very creditable one. IRELAND. CLONMEL ELECTION, FEB. 10.—Mr. Ball will have "a wa lk over ;" Mr. Bagwell indignantly refused to lend himself to the Conservative plot against the liberties of the people. When re quested by several of the " good old system" men to lend his support to Baron Pennefather's son, he gave a refusal that completely blasted the prospects of the faction. " I have," said Mr. 8., "already sent word to my supporters to vote for whom they pleased ; and if I wanted an instance of political virtue, I would refer, not to the high and wealthy, but to the middle classes of Clonmel for a splendid example." The Re formers are in high spirits—the Conservatives quite chop fallen. CITY REGISTItY.—The numbers at the close of yesterday's proceedings were as follow : Admitted. Rejected. Liberals l3 '1 Conservatives If the Liberals would only now come forward, they would record a glorious majority. The resources of our opponents are nearly exhausted. REBEtLION !—The Dublin Post, referring to some strange proceedings in the Court of Exchequer on Tuesday, when Sheriff Copeland was attached for refusing to execute a writ says:—" But the important part of the proceedings has re ference to the North. There, in the 'Protestant counties of Armagh and Down, the resistance to tithes is quite as vehe ment as in Munster or Kilkenny—and, it would appear, infi nitely better organised. We understand, indeed, that the Orangemen, tired of their anti-Popish extravagance, and dis gusted with their broken-down leaders, yet liking employ ment, and bearing the most holy hatred against tithes, are the chief heroes in the anti-tithe campaign." The following General Order (which is angrily described by the Orange Mail as " nothing less than despotism") has beer, issued by the Commander of the Forces : .‘ Adjutant- G! - . leral' . s Office, Dublin, Feb. 1, 1836. "GENERAL ORDER. " In consequence of a communication from Government, the General Order of the 19th of October, and the 17th of November, 1835, are cancelled, and officers commanding corps and detachments arc desired to refer all applications 'for military assistance in the col lection of tithes or rent, or in the serving of or executing civil pro cess or degrees in original to the military Secretary, in order that the Major-General commanding may submit them for the conside ration of Government before the aid required is granted; the usual duplicates to be transmitted at the same time to the Major-General of the district. The officer in his application will state his opinion, grounded on his local knowledge and information, as to the extent of force it would be necessary to employ. " There are, however, two cases in which military assistance may be immediately granted for the above purposes without any previous reference : the one is, when the requisition for aid proceeds from the Sheriff or Sub-Sheriff of the county ; the other is, when any competent civil authority calls for military assistance to suppress a riot, which may have arisen in the collection of tithes or rent, or in the serving or executing of civil process or decrees, and which riot is actually going on at the time. " By command of the Major-General commanding, " GEORGE D'A GUIL A R, D eputy Adjutant- General. " This " general order " most clearly conveys the dissent of the Government from the decision of the Honourable Barons. O'CoNNELL-HousE.—A lour from London states that a subscription has been set on foot for the purpose of purchasing a Mansion for Mr. O'Connell. The first name on the list is followed by a gift of 500/.—Dublin Post. There is no truth whatever in the statement which has ap peared in some of the newspapers, that the Lord Lieutenant is about to proceed to London. His Excellency, we under stand, has at present no such intention. --/bid. N. Philpot Leader, Esq. died on Sunday last, at Nash ville, near Kanturk, in the County of Cork. He was, for some time, representative for the city of Kilkenny, the inde pendence of which he was mainly instrumental in establishing. ANTI-TITHE MEETING.—In reference to the numerous and highly influential meeting recently held in Tramore, the Waterford Chronicle says--" We observed in the thickly thronged .market-place where the people assembled, well clad, decent, comfortable farmers, who had ridden from a con- _ siderable distance oheir general bearing was highly creditable, but the glance of determined hostility that passed their stern countenances, as the injustice and enormities of the tithe system were dwelt upon, could not be mistaken ; it told the unyielding resolution to which they had come of shaking off the burthen, let the consequences be what they might." AN IRISII BRIEF.—The brief in Mr. O'Connell's case for the Dublin election Committee, which is to be sent to London, consists of 22rmns cif paper, Only 11,000 sheets 1 ! Dablin Poi. . ~ ERRATUAL—In the analysis of the Ecclesiastical Bill which we copied from yesterday:tt 7:04,f , 5, by the press, the C ourt of " Chanwl'' is printed for an error of the " Ex cbereri" tq ythich tithe stilts are to be traensfcriVii PARLIAMENTARY SUMMAR iits In the LORDS', yesterday, the Marquis of Londonderry moved for accounts of the warlike stares supplied by Govern ment to the Queen of Spain, and the payments made for the same. His Lordship, i n a l ong an d not part i cu l ar ly relevant speech, undisguisedly evinced his sympathy with Don Carlos, whose forces he magnified, and on whose character he bounti fully bestowed all sorts of political panegyric. Lord Melbourn e . expressed hi s w illi ngness to pro d uce t h e papers move d f o r, m l ' l then proceeded to disprove some of th e s t a t emen t s m ade by th e Noble Marquis, and to demolish all the arguments founded on them by the pre v i ous s p ea k er , over w h om he gained, as will a bc . seen, deciiive triu m ph. Th e E ar l o f Ab er d een di sa pproved of the conduct of Government in favouring the cause of the Queen of Spain, an d conten d e d t h at t h e f act o f t h e Duke of Wellington having acted upon the stipulations of the Quadruple Treaty was no proof at all that he approved of the policy on which it was founded—that, in fact, the Noble Duke did dis approve of it, but when he came into office he had no c hoice but to pursue the policy of his immediate predecessors. In the course of the debate, the report that six Englishmen We been shot by the order of Don Carlos was confirmed by Lord Melbourne. The motion of the Noble Marquis was ag reed to. The Lord Chancellor brought in a Bill to alter and am2nd the proceedings in the various Ecclesiastical Courts, and to consolidate those Courts themselves. The importance of the Reforms contemplated by this measure will be at once recog nised by referring to our report of the Noble Lord's speech. Lord Lyndhurst approved of the principle of the Bill. In the COMMONS' several Railway Bills were brought in and read a first time. Mr. Was presented a petition from the Dissenters of Great Marlow, against Church -rates, and com plaining of great hardships endured through the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester. Mr. W-akley moved f or re t urn s of the, number of summary convictions during the year 1835, in which copies of the evidence bad been preserved : the motion was agreed to. In answer to a question from Mr. Wallace, Mr. Labouchere said that it was intended to propose making a change at the Post-office as to the situation of the Postmaster - General. A series of resolutions for the future regulation of Select Committees was adopted. Mr. Finn then brought for ward his resolution relative to Orange Associations, the RIP; pression:of which he demanded, in a speech which is worthy of perusal. At the suggestion of Lord John Russell, the consi deration of the subject was deferred till the 23d instant. Mr. Hume's motion for a List of Officers, of whatever rank, struck out of the Army List since 1815, not being on full pay, with the reasons for such dismissal, was agreed to, with the omission of the words following "full pay." Mr. D. W. Harvey then brought forward his motion for the appointment of a Select Committee to which all plans for railways should be referred- A long and interesting discussion ensued, which terminated the withdrawal of the motion. Lord J. Russell brought io Bill for the general registration of births, marriages, and de'aths, and likewise a Bill for the purpose of amending the Ip,„,,vs re gulating the marriages of Dissenters. His Lordship's speech on the introduction of these most important measures supplies an exposition of their principles, and of the mode in which they are to be applied. It will be found in our Parliamentary Re port, to which, with some remarks on the subject in another co'umn, we refer our readers. Sir R. Peel had no objection to the Bills. Mr. Baines and Mr. O'Connell were also fa vourable to them. Lord John Russell then thanked the House for the very favourable reception of his proposed measures; and leave having been given to bring in the Bills, the House adjourned at half-past Eleven. BRIGHTON-FRIDAY, This morning his Majesty gave audience to Admiral Sir .T Whitshed, Hon. Capt. Maude, R. N., and Major-General Sir Thomas M'Mahon. Their Majesties drove out this afternoon in a close carriage and visited Rottingdean. The Princess Augusta, accompanied by Lady L. Cornwallis , took carriage exercise this day. - It is not finally determined what day their Majesties and the Court quit Brighton ; but it is expected that it will be on Friday in the ensuing week. We believe the Princess Auguste intends to take her departure on the 19th. Lieut.-General Sir T. Montresor, Colonel Howard, Lady Caroline Neeld, Dowager Lady Onslow ; Sir David, Lady, and the Misses Scott ; the Hon. W.

This authentication is important, since it proves bow deeply the scheme was laid by Russia to overreach Lord Castlereagh and the Duke of Wellington in the treaty of Vienna. We believe that the copies of this sin gular correspondence were made by a secretary of Count Pozzo di Borgo, who afterwards offered them for sale to Count Matuszewic, which offer was declined, as it was pretty we ll known that a reserved copy was in existence. They then fell into ; the bands of Mr. Urquhart, well known as an attache to the British Legation at Constantinople, for several years, who generally adopted for political purposes either the Greek or Turkish costume. Since then that gentleman has received a diplomatic`appointment.--Morning Herald. The Gazette of last night contains the order of the Speaker, in pursuance of the Act of the 42d Geo.
